The ideal candidate thrives in ambiguity, has a track record of delivering complex distributed systems in fast-moving environments, and gets energized by problems that sit at the intersection of big data, ML, and product. You're not just looking for a job — you're looking for a team where you can shape the technical direction of a product that's redefining how the advertising industry measures success.
Key job responsibilities
Design and build scalable agent workflows for metrics collection and aggregation
Lead architecture decisions for ACE's calibration, report generation, and data processing systems spanning multiple pipelines across multiple AWS accounts
Own end-to-end delivery of major product features — from technical design through production launch — including real-time streaming attribution, AI-powered report generation, and new vertical measurement frameworks
Drive operational excellence across ACE's workflows: improve observability, eliminate silent failures, and build self-healing capabilities to meet builder SLAs
Mentor junior engineers, raise the bar on code quality through design reviews and CRs, and establish engineering best practices across the team
Partner with applied scientists and product managers to translate ML model requirements into production-grade systems that serve advertiser-facing measurement products
A day in the life
You might start your morning reviewing the overnight metrics collected on tooling runs, investigating why an adherence scenario's stats look anomalous. After the morning sync, you might pair with another software engineer to remove an unnecessary touchpoint in a workflow. In the afternoon, you lead a design review for a new plugin architecture that will improve code quality for generated DynamoDB queries. You close the day reviewing CRs from a teammate building LLM-powered code package scanning. Your work directly impacts how builders contribute to Amazon products across retail and beyond.
